Pearls and Lace...

I don't know if anyone else has found this to be true, but the more I delve into my crafting, the more ideas I get!!! I have a notepad currently full of sketches and projects to put together when I have the time...(is that ever going to happen??). Anyway, last night I was finishing off another crochet hat in the most gorgeous colour and it gave me the idea for a collection of hats and baby/toddler/young child wear collection called "Pearls and Lace".

I am thinking swatches of lace in pearl, ivory and cream with vintage buttons, crisp white linen, pure wool in shades of cream, lilac, velvet and pretty marone. I have so many ideas!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I would post the hat I finished last night with it's little abstract embellishment (husband think it looks like a pair of wings, I wasn't really going for that but it works for me!!)

This is just the start.....

Somehow the detail of the hat seems so much clearer in this shade of colour...

I LOVE the edging...it looks so cute on!

A bit of abstract complete with a vintage button (button from 1950..)

Even though I am a total jean wearing, t-shirt loving kind of girl, I absolutely love the idea of little girls actually dressing like little girls!!!!! This is the idea and inspiration behind this collection..

Must run, assessment isn't going to do itself! (I wish it would...on the upside, I will be finished studying by mid year hopefully! Yipee!)

Have a brilliant Sunday

Bella
